Binder, Jr; twenty grandchildren, several great grandchildren; one brother, Ben Elder(Ruby); two sisters, Georgia Bledsoe and Sue Howard; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
My sincere condolences to the family during this time of loss. Even Jesus wept at the loss of a loved one. Please draw comfort from the scriptural promises at Rev 21:3, 4 and know that God fulfils all his promises. Isa 55:11
To the Binder family...Although I never had the pleasure of knowing Ms Millie...I thought the words of our Heavenly Father Jehovah would bring a measure of comfort during your time of sorrow. Revelations 21:4 says..”And he will wipe out every tear from their eye, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” This is a promise. Warm regards, Jill J. Please see www.jw.org
To family and friends my deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one. Losing a loved one in death is very painful and Almighty God Jehovah (Psalms 83:18) knows the pain that you now have at this most difficult time. HE has promised that our loved ones will live again right here on the earth. Read Isaiah 26:19. This is what the Bible calls the resurrection. Jesus promised that there's going to be a resurrection of all those in the grave and they will hear his voice and come out. Read John 5:28,29.

I want to offer my condolences to the Binder family and friends. Our Heavenly Father knows the pain you feel from the loss of your love one. He did not purpose his human family to die but to live and enjoy life forever. This is still his purpose (Psalms 37:11, 29). He calls death an enemy that will be removed forever along with all pain and suffering__ 1 Corinthians 15:26; Revelation 21:4 “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” Notice his promise to awaken all those in the memorial tombs from asleep in death¬__ Isaiah 26:19 “Your dead will rise ...Awake and shout joyfully you residents in the dust! ...the earth will let those powerless in death come to life." What a delight it will be to see them again! Allow these words to keep comforting all of you.
